Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
In New Times‘ Summer Guide 2011, our writers explore some guilty pleasures associated with summer.
Inside the Summer Guide:
• C.M. Redding on Tempe’s Big Surf waterpark
• Restaurant critic Laura Hahnefeld on the boutique local ice cream maker Crave
• Zachary Fowle on the underground practice of trading craft beers through the mail
• Village Voice Media film critic Chuck Wilson on some of the most anticipated movies of the summer
• Sativa Peterson on the origin of her unusual first name
• Nationally known author Laurie Notaro on why she won’t be reading anything this summer
